Country Chapel-215G was stamped in black with green highlights (colored with black and, with a green pen, trees colored). Trees from the right side of the image were stamped to the left of the chapel to fill in the blank area.

Cloud Cumulus-018E was stamped three times in Ranger Industries Sea Brights Sailboat Blue.

Rangers Sea Shells Cloudy Blue was was applied with the Tonal Applicator-084E (T.A.). This is a light color and provides a good foundation tone. I used it mainly in the sky but also used a little around the ground. I planned to make it green so I wanted the blue to add continuity between earth and sky. Greens, yellows, and blues mix well.

Rangers Sea Brights Pool was applied with the T.A.

Rangers Sea Shells Conch Shell was applied with the T.A. in the grass area.

Rangers Sea Brights Citrus was applied with the T.A.

Rangers Sea Brights Sailboat Blue was applied with the T.A.

Marvy Blue #3 was applied with the T.A. in the upper most edge and corners of the card.

Grass Texture-208D was stamped for ground foliage using a Marvy Bottle Green #25.

Oak Branch-203G was stamped as a hanging branch using Black with Green highlights.

Flock-112A and Reeds Lg.-068D were stamped in black.

A Colorbox Frost White pigment ink was dabbed on the scene with the use of a cotton swab. I wanted soft edges on the clouds for a more billowing effect.
